BUSAN, March 18 (Yonhap) -- Police have apprehended a man on suspicion of fatally stabbing an airline pilot in Busan, officials said Wednesday.
The man in his 50s, surnamed Kim, was taken into custody Tuesday evening after allegedly murdering the victim, a former colleague, early that morning at an apartment in Busan, about 330 kilometers southeast of Seoul.
The suspect, who has been identified as a former airline pilot, has said he began planning the crime three years earlier and sought to kill four people, according to police.
Shortly after the murder, Kim visited another former colleague's home in Changwon, about 300 kilometers southeast of Seoul, to allegedly carry out another attack but the attempt failed.
He is also accused of attempting to strangle and kill another former pilot colleague on Monday in Goyang, northwest of Seoul, before fleeing the scene.
The suspect is said to have fallen out with his former colleagues when he lost his job two years earlier.
